Hello Cygwinstas, Just a brief follow-up. SHIFT-INSERT is still not working for me, but I discovered by accident (like a lucky chimp writing Shakespear) that an alternate-click with the mouse on the minTTY window allows a "paste" option. So things aren't so bad. I do want this fixed, though! C

Hello Cygwin community, I've got a small issue. Out there in the oosphere there is mention of a tool called "applypatch", and I went looking for it in cygwin pkgs. Using the invocation `cygcheck -f applypatch' I don't find any packages that supply "applypatch" or "applypatch.exe" but now when I

I second the request; although there are (already) 240 perl packages available in cygwin, this is an especially useful one. I would volunteer to port it but I am, regrettably, not fluent in cygport yet. I hope to remedy this someday, and at that time, I will be focused on bringing in new (to cygwin

Minor flaws in the Cygwin Perl installation; missing directories (Perl 5.40.0-1)

The Perl interpreter uses directories contained in the internal array @INC to find libraries. Cygwin's Perl 5.40.0-1 installation leaves several directories uncreated but listed in @INC. Like so (from $perl -V): @INC: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40/x86_64-cygwin-threads /usr/l
